AUG 16th – 6 PM – BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP
From the author of The Secret Life of Bees comes a second work that has been described as “a well-told tale about marriage, mystery – and mermaids”.
Jessie Aullivan is awakened by a shrilling phone late one night to horrifying news: her mother, who has never recovered from her husbnad Joe’s death 33 years earlier, has chopped off her own finger with a cleaver.
Frantic with worry and apprehensive at the thought of returning to the small island where she grew up in the shadow of her beloved father’s death, and her mother’s fanatical Catholicism. 42 year old Jessie gets on the next plane, leaving behind her psychiatrist husband, Hugh and college-age daughter, Dee. Confusing as the present may be, the past is rearing its head and Jessie, who has never understood why her mother is still distraught by Joe’s death, begins to suspect that she’s keeping a terrible secret.
Writing from the perspective of conflicted, discontented Jessie, Kidd achieves a bold intensity and complexity that wasn’t possible in her ealier book.
